Marshalls' return policy is nearly identical to TJ Maxx's — which makes sense, since they're both owned by TJX Companies. Here's the complete breakdown.
Standard policy
- 30 days from purchase for a full refund to original payment method
- Items must be in original condition with the Marshalls tags attached
- Receipt required for a cash/card refund
No receipt: merchandise credit
Without a receipt, Marshalls issues a merchandise credit (store gift card) rather than a cash refund. The credit is issued at the current or lowest recent selling price. You'll need a valid ID.
Marshalls tracks no-receipt return activity; frequent no-receipt returns may be flagged.
Cross-brand returns: TJ Maxx and Marshalls
Because both are TJX brands, you can return Marshalls items at TJ Maxx and TJ Maxx items at Marshalls. This is a practical benefit — whichever location is more convenient works.
Sierra (also TJX) is a sister brand; check if Sierra returns are accepted at Marshalls locations near you.
How to return in-store
Bring the item with the Marshalls tag and receipt to any Marshalls or TJ Maxx customer service area. Refunds process to the original payment method with receipt.
Online returns (marshalls.com)
In-store: Return marshalls.com orders at any Marshalls or TJ Maxx location. Free, immediate.
By mail: A prepaid return label is available; a $10.99 return fee is deducted. Refunds process within 10–14 business days.
In-store is the right option — the mail fee is high.
